[BuildStream] Weekly Performance Update

[Darius Makovsky <darius makovsky codethink co uk>]

Here are the results for last week (28/10/19).

-------------------------------------------------
Ipython notebook with the results:
https://mybinder.org/v2/gl/BuildStream%2Fbenchmarking%2Fbst-benchmarks-notebooks/master?filepath=all_results.ipynb

the results are hosted at:
https://hub.gke.mybinder.org/user/buildstream-ben-marks-notebooks-zu90x2vy/notebooks/all_results.ipynb

Don't forget to run "Kernel" -> "Restart and Run all" to actually
generate the graphs.

Note: If the link has expired, you'll need to go to
https://mybinder.org/ and enter:
https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/benchmarking/bst-benchmarks-notebooks into the url
field, with branch "master" and file "all_results.ipynb". Then "launch".

---

All results were obtained on the same hardware (a Codethink dev
machine configured as a GitLab runner - not being used for anything
else), and the results files are being appended to by a CI job. Specs
as follows:

* Linux (Debian stretch)
* x86_64
* 16G RAM
* 500Gb SSD
* Intel i7-3770
* 8 cores @ 3.40 GHz

Here are the times and max-rss (peak memory usage) results for a `bst
show` of base-files/base-files.bst in the Debian-like project (branch:
jennis/add_all_files [1]) for the last 5 weeks:
